This place is all about up-selling you, whether you need it or not. If you call for an estimate, they ll send out a highly-trained, highly-motivated salesperson. I called for a simple duct-cleaning estimate, and they sent out this slick-willy salesman who clearly had his own best interest at heart. I ll give him this: he was a convincing salesman. He lied with a lot of conviction, which is what made me so angry. I fear for elderly or otherwise vulnerable people who will get robbed by these people because they don t have anyone else who can provide an objective opinion. As soon as he arrived, he made a b-line for my attic to inspect the system he clearly had no interest in performing a duct cleaning. I made the mistake of mentioning that my humidity had been too high lately, and that was all he needed to try to tell sell me the moon. The humidity issue ended up being that we d accidentally left the fan running, and simply turning the fan off fixed the issue. Apparently turning off my system fan saved me over 8 grand.
This guy gave me three estimates (actual estimate attached to this review):
1. The best option for $8,181. (Not far off the price of a brand new HVAC system by the way.)
2. A mid-level option for $5,358.
3. Their bare-bones option at $3,990.
And of course they were pushing the financing option, which makes them even more money on interest. I asked for DUCT CLEANING mind you. Instead he tried to sell me a re-seal of my entire system and a bunch of other stuff I don t need. Luckily for me, my brother is a very accomplished HVAC professional (who unfortunately doesn t live on the mainland U.S., or he d have done the work), and my brother was able to verify that the estimate was a complete scam.
Steer clear of A #1 Air you work too hard for your money to let these greedy folks have it.
